How do I deal with a laying worker???

This hive swarmed 6 weeks ago and the swarm is doing great... But there appears to be no queen in the hive that they vacated and a large percentage of the remaining bees are drones and most if not all brood is drone brood... I suspect a laying worker... What do I do from here???

Re: How do I deal with a laying worker???

If they are to that point, I suspect the resources are robbed out by now. Solomons advice is the way I would go. I normally try to salvage any resources. The thing now is to keep SHB and or wax moths from damaging your comb. Freezer, PDB, or put them on a strong hive.
